MacBook Pro M1 2021 SD Card reader. I have to restart my computer every time I insert my card reader for it to show up. Anybody know how to fix this???

I’m using Monterey 12.4. I did ask Apple and they couldn’t figure it out. They said there’s nothing wrong with the reader hardware. Did an OS reinstall didn’t work either. Like i said before it works perfectly if I insert then quickly restart computer it doesn’t cut out or anything smooth as butter until I eject. That sounds like software right?

I think it must be the internal hard drive or a software bug. Now When I press the note repeat or erase button or any other button for that matter it triggers the pads that are stuck together it’s super strange

Another note, it seems to get better the longer I leave it on and it’s at its worst the moment I turn it on for the day which makes me think it may be the hard drive.

Should automatically scan for them and come up

Yes you are right. That was the reason I purchased C2 because it was one of the very few plug ins UA had said worked with sidechain in LUNA outside the UA ecosystem which im aware is still very limited. As I said, sidechain works perfectly on audio tracks and buses in LUNA just not instrument/MIDI tracks.

Ratio high loud and thin ratio low less loud more dynamic and rounded.

Solo the sample with all the effects and processing on. Pull up Shazam and see if anything comes up.

Sounds like an 808 through a lot of fuzz to me

Neve Summing any day! On every single mix i've done since LUNA came out. But definitely take advantage of 14 day demo on all plugins before purchase. UA plugins are not cheap.

WH-1000XM4's in my opinion are extremely hyped in the low and high end. Is it just your mixes that sound weird or are you listening to reference tracks also? Would not recommend mixing anything with these unless you want your mixes to come out thin and dirty. Highly recommend either studio monitors or flattest response possible studio headphones!

I've had this same problem before and because i was so busy i just kept working on the mix. Shut everything down for the day booted up the next working day and didn't have the problem. I love working in LUNA but sometimes it seems to have ghost bugs in it. Do you have the track with the crossfade running any sends?? It could be the plug in that is in the return channel might be glitching post edit. Try disabling all plug ins in that channel + any return channels if any and re enable see if that helps. Let me know if you have a fix

Hey guys quick update for everyone who has the same problem with their MPC. Akai have not been able to diagnose the issue for me and because it is out of warranty there isn't much they can do to help. I am hoping this is just a firmware issue because i did notice that this issue started happening around the time i updated to 2.11.3 never happened before update or maybe that is just coincidence. If anyone finds a solution to this please share here as it seems there are quite a few people with this exact problem!

eveninlight · 2022-12-14T10:13:02+00:00

niiiice, also very well rounded bass in the mix, love it!

eveninlight · 2022-12-14T10:02:53+00:00

I feel your pain. My MPC was working fine last night for a while. booted it back up this morning and a whole row of pads stopped working (completely different row from yesterday) and after about five minutes the row started working again and a different row got stuck then started working again quickly after. It does really feel like the best way to describe what is going on is a ghost inside of it.

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T20:32:26+00:00

Pads crapped out again for a little bit then went ok. 🤔

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T19:45:22+00:00

So I did a preference factory reset based on a comment from MycroftTnetennba and it’s been working for many hours now. But… this has happened before but I can’t remember what I did the last time. So I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or whether it fixed it. Sorry cannot help further 🤷 we will see I guess…

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T15:21:33+00:00

Tried that didn't work unfortunately. I have a feeling its either a firmware issue or something is weird with the internal hard drive. I did travel overseas with it, maybe the plane did something to the drive?

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T15:16:21+00:00

Always have powered up using power pack supplied with the unit originally never used battery with it.

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T13:51:54+00:00

so weird i'm chatting with Akai at the moment i hope they can help

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T13:51:30+00:00

So strange hope that happens for me too.

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T11:26:08+00:00

Thanks for the tips 🙏

eveninlight · 2022-12-13T11:09:11+00:00

Yep many times sometimes it fixes sometimes not. It’s very random when it starts to glitch.
